The Moomins

Moomintroll, Sniff and Snufkin walk on stilts across...the dried up sea or something...anyway, they're on their way to the observatory to check out the comet flying towards them. When I was younger particularly and first read the book "Comet in Moominland", it really kept me in suspense - I thought the comet was going to crash into moominvalley! But it didn't, thank goodness for that.
